Microsoft: No cross-platform play between Xbox One and Xbox 360

4.8
Don't expect any cross-platform play between Xbox 360 and Xbox One. That's what Microsoft Xbox UK marketing manager Harvey Eagle confirmed to Videogamer.

"Because of the different architecture of the systems it's not possible. Your Xbox Live account on 360 will carry over to Xbox One. That same account will work on both platforms. The multiplayer won't," Eagle told Videogamer. The Xbox 360 is built on PowerPC architecture, while the Xbox One utilizes an x86 chipset – so no purchased games will transfer to the new system.

The Xbox One was announced by Microsoft yesterday during its Redmond campus Xbox reveal event. The Xbox One is due to launch later this year. Xbox Live profiles and corresponding Achievements on Xbox 360 will carry over to Xbox One, which also bumps up the friends limit to 1,000.

Requirement Okay, so say I have my account on my Xbox One and my 360, I'm Prestige Master on black ops 2 on the 360, I wont be on the Xbox one?


BO2 won't be compatible with the Xbox One.


They would have to re-release the game but you probably would have to start over again


I'm Fine With That. I Just Reset And Am Planning To Again.


Black Ops 2 won't be on the new gen consoles. Ghosts will be the first and only CoD on the new gen consoles. Fact.

ShadowBoltDashie This really doesn't surprise me. I had a feeling Microsoft would do something like this.


I agree, it doesn't really surprise me. It would be cool though.

We all know that the transition is going to be a huge mess, especially considering that they're releasing some games on both consoles, it will probably take around a year for Xbox One to be the normal console and for the Xbox 360 to die out.

Woobie So if you buy Ghosts for the Xbox One you can't play with people on 360?


Nope it is bad and good at the same time :
